<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>英語で：</strong> Most modern Japanese would, of course, just go to a <em>konbini</em> and buy some packets of instant soup. The alternative, however, does not really take that much more time.</p>
<p><strong>Japanese:</strong> わかめとごまスープつくりました！</p>

<p>First one makes a <em>dashi</em> (stock), like for the <a href="http://pelupessy.github.io/blog/2015/02/11/miso/">miso soup</a>. This time, in a concession to convenience, I am using a packet of <em>konbu</em> (kelp) and <em>katsuobushi</em> (bonito flakes).</p>
<p><a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-mm3xxTc/0/bfb2882f/X3/i-mm3xxTc-X3.jpg"><img class="center" src="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-mm3xxTc/0/bfb2882f/XL/i-mm3xxTc-XL.jpg"></a></p>
<p>6 minutes boiling:</p>

<p>After raiding the cupboard, I decided to use:</p>

<p>Put the sesame seeds, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakame">wakame</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_onion">wakegi</a> in the mugs:</p>
<p><a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-vJfBnDp/0/91079b5a/X3/i-vJfBnDp-X3.jpg"><img class="center" src="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-vJfBnDp/0/91079b5a/XL/i-vJfBnDp-XL.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Pour the hot <em>dashi</em> in the mugs, wait for a few minutes, add soy sause to taste.</p>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>英語で</strong> Outside of Japan there are some rumours on the luxurious treatment of cows before they get cut into <em>wagyu</em> beef, varying from daily massages to a special diet which includes <em>nihonshu</em>. Whether or not these rumours are true, the resulting meat is rather special, ideal for <em>yakiniku</em> (fried meat).</p>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>英語で:</strong> Continuing the investigation into themed cafes, next in line is the bunny cafe. Like the cat cafe, one is asked to wash the hands before entering. Additionally, one should don protective clothing before socialising with the hosts. Unlike cats, these can be easily bribed to approach the guests.</p>
<p><strong>Japanese:</strong> うさぎカフェにも行きました。かわいかった！</p>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>英語で:</strong> Japan is somewhat famous for their themed cafes, with themes ranging from popular anime series to animals. Before entering a cat-cafe one is kindly requested to wash your hands. Petting the cats is allowed, though not holding them. To the disappointment of some costumers, the cats can easily escape unwanted attention by virtue of using their feet.</p>
<p><strong>Japanese:</strong> 東京へねこカフェにゆきました。ねこはあそびたくなかった、でもかわいかった。</p>

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><strong>英語で:</strong> A forty minutes train ride north of Sendai is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsushima">Matsushima</a>. This group of more than 200 islands is known for being one of the three most celebrated views of Japan, the other two being <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanohashidate">Amanohashidate</a> in Kyoto Prefecture and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itsukushima_Shrine">Itsukushima Shrine</a> in Hiroshima Prefecture. Its other claim to fame in Japan is the oyster cultivation.</p>
